Mumbai has left me a little speechless. I knew what to expect: extreme poverty and exceptional wealth, an assault on the senses, juxtapositions at every turn. But it is the way that the city and all its extremes are not divided but entwined together that got me. It's vibrant, overwhelming, humbling, sometimes frustrating, and always teaming with infectious energy.
I am a big believer in getting lost in a city, but Budapest is actually really easy to navigate through. Don’t get me wrong, you can build up a sweat on the cobble stone hills of Buda but Pest is flat. The metro is really simple to follow with just 4 lines interconnected with 5 railway lines and will help when jumping across the city from bath house to bath house. Trust me you will be too relaxed to want to move energetically.
They say it is the city for lovers and that might be true, but it is also the city to be alone in, to get lost in. The French have a word that literally means to wander, stroll, and saunter, therefore I implore you to do just that, and become a Flâneur. You see, you cant just SEE Paris, you have to experience it.
